okay look i know websites dont like to be scrapped. but there are more than a dozen races a day. more than the amount of premier league games on saturday, and i would like them with all the details on my excel so i can filter race of interest quickly.
I tried import from web on excel on racingpost site but cant seem to be scrapped.
Any ideas? How do you guys go about it? do you have some kind of mechanism that helps you organize the race cards and present it neatly on an excel sheet or everything is done manually?

There's a site called freelancer.com where you can describe what you want, and writers/programmers put in offers/tenders for it.
The decent ones have high review marks similar to Amazon/Ebay sellers so you can be fairly sure you're dealing with someone who knows what they're doing if their rating is good. The more detail you give in your initial ad, the more likely you are to find someone that can do the exact job for you.
